st: RE: -xtline- and -recast()-

(HTML stripped; please don't)
I think you want
tsline calories, recast(scatter)
but then one might as get there
directly by
scatter calories day
and in this case at least add
the information
separate calories, by(person)
scatter calories? day, ms(oh th Oh)

I am probably missing something, but
sysuse xtline1
tsset person day
xtline calories, recast(scatter)
does not work. It gives the error "option recast() not allowed". From the help file, though, I got the impression that the option was allowed:
"See the recast() option discussed in help advanced_options for information on
how to plot spikes, bars, etc., instead of lines."
In my application, the line is rather confusing, so I would really like to change it to something else. I am using an up-to-date Stata v. 8.2.
